Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance for Zoning Application No. Z0924-0369, submitted by Tierra Carter-Simmons on behalf of Inspiring You to Greatness, for a change of zoning from Agricultural Zoning District to R-3, Single Family Zoning District and a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change future land use designation from Commercial to Low Density Residential, located at 10079 South Belt Line Road (also addressed 2298 South Belt Line Road).
(No responses in favor and one in opposition to the application has been received from property owners within the statutory notification area. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval.)
Body
The applicant and property owner, Inspiring You to Greatness, is requesting a change of zoning to develop a small single-family subdivision using the development standards under the R-3 Single-Family Zoning District. The applicant is not seeking any modifications to the City’s development standards. If approved, any single-family development must meet the minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet and a minimum living space of 1,500 square feet under R-3 zoning while also complying with the City’s engineering standards, as well as the adopted Building and Fire Codes.
On April 1, 2024, City Council considered the applicant’s previous request for a change of zoning to Planned Development (PD) - R3 Single-Family Residential, which included modified development standards. The proposed subdivision featured single-family homes with a minimum living space of 1,500 square feet, a reduced minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet, and modified setbacks. City Council denied the request by a 4-3 vote. The current application differs from the previous request, as it seeks a straight rezoning without modifications rather than a PD. As a result, it is not subject to the one-year prohibition on considering a subsequent application after a denial.
On March 24, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to approve the requested change of zoning to R-3, Single Family Residential, along with the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the future land use designation from Commercial to Low-Density Residential.
